Working with non-academic partners is central to many people’s research practices. This is particularly the case where researchers seek to inform or provoke positive social change. Such practices are captured by the idea of ‘connectedness’ in the UTS Research Strategy. As one of the eight pillars in the strategy it refers to how ‘we communicate, connect and collaborate with each other, our academic, community, industry and government partners and the world at large to bring together diverse capabilities and expertise.’

Join us for a Law Health Justice Research Practices seminar to learn more about connecting and working with external partner organisations.

The panel event features:

Dr David Carter, Senior Lecturer | National Health and Medical Research Council Early Career Fellow

Faculty of Law | The Centre for Health Economics Research and Evaluation, UTS Business School

David leads a programme of research on the legal and health needs of people living with blood borne infections. This research involves extensive engagement and partnerships with service delivery and advocacy organisations. David will share insights on establishing and nurturing connected research.

Carrie Fowlie, CEO Hepatitis Australia

Carrie has almost two decades of peak body experience that has involved collaboration with university researchers and advocacy work with elected officials and their offices, in parliaments, at the United Nations, and with government officials. Carrie will offer practical suggestions for what to do and not to do as a researcher seeking to collaborate with external partner organisations.
